Despite the suffocating grip around my neck, I looked at him and smiled bitterly. "Since yesterday, has Mom appeared even once?"
Jeff's grip loosened slightly. Right, why hadn't he heard from his mother since yesterday?
I coughed violently, gasping for air, while Jeff frantically pulled out his phone, trying to call his mother—only to be met with no answer. Deep inside, I felt a strange satisfaction.
"No way!" He threw his phone in anger and snatched the urn from my arms, laughing and crying at the same time.
"My mother can't be dead," he said, his voice trembling.
I closed my eyes, the image of my mother-in-law lying on the side of the road, desperately dialing her son over and over again, only to be hung up on, filling my mind.
Mom, just wait a little longer. I'll bring Jeff back soon to arrange your funeral.
"Jeff! Don't believe her!" Ida suddenly rushed forward, shoving me away.
"Your mom is not dead!"
"What? A shocking twist?" Viewers in the livestream chat exploded with comments.
"See? I knew that crazy woman was lying!"
"I hate people who curse others' parents. Get ready, I'm on my way to teach her a lesson!"
"I support you! She should pay the price!"
